Navajo Kachina Doll by S. Charley – “Hoop Dancer” – Feathers & Leather
Handcrafted by Navajo artist S. Charley, this dynamic Kachina-style doll titled “Hoop Dancer” captures the grace and storytelling power of the traditional Native American hoop dance. The piece is signed on the base and showcases detailed workmanship in a vivid and ceremonial form.
Hand-carved and painted wood is accented with real fur, feathers, and suede leather, bringing movement and texture to the figure. The doll features striking facial paint, a bold feathered headdress, dotted armbands, and five white hoops—symbolizing cycles of life and storytelling through dance. A natural wood base provides sturdy support for display.
A vibrant example of Navajo folk artistry, ideal for collectors of Southwestern or Indigenous American cultural items.
